Spring Cleaning

[callowyn]

This week I was graced with the presence of my best friend from high school, whom I have not seen for many moons. She drove nearly twelve hours to get here, because she's insane, only to discover the joy that is navigating one-way streets while I accidentally gave her directions that assumed she was coming from a different direction entirely. We went to the park and visited an art museum and generally had all sorts of shenanigans, concluding with a book-fest in which I forced her to read Terry Pratchett novels on pain of death. I really know how to throw a party.

Speaking of parties, I went to my first
camelot_fleet  party on Saturday and finally acquired myself a Dreamwidth account. (How many of you are over there? Would it be worth it to cross-post?) Unfortunately, my time spent with the outside world ("what's that big glowing thing in the sky?" I wondered) made me miss the merlin_love party on Sunday and their rec party on Wednesday and the bradleycolin friending meme. (Lucky for me, there's another party going on at merlin_love today that I will only be moderately late to.)

I did make it to the Spring Swap, though, which is a very awesome idea and if you haven't gone over there yet, you definitely should!

Which brings me to my SPRING TO-DO LIST:

• a fic about Arthur and Merlin on a ship for luisadeza 
• fanart involving Merlin's neckerchief for vicky_v 
• reel_merlin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame- I signed up to do art, because the fic was already taken, but also because my writing-fu is on the fritz. See next bullet point.
• THE SEQUEL TO MIDNIGHT MASQUE, OH MY GOD WHY IS IT TAKING ME SO LONG :(

This post is mostly so I can look back on that last one and laugh bitterly when I still haven't finished- for someone who intends to be a writer professionally, I am terrible at meeting deadlines. Also, if I owe you something and it's not on the list, that means I've forgotten it, so please remind me.

But anyway, it's Friday! What're you all up to this weekend?
